Is there a list of the exact words for all Genres supported by MC12 in ID3v1 tags (only)? (reference http://www.mpx.cz/mp3manager/tags.htm)

I searched the MC12 install and found a list in the in_mp3.dll binary, but all those are not written to the ID3v1 tag data (like 136-Christian Gangsta Rap, 128-Club-House and others) as I see 255 in Genre tag (format) data.

The dropdown lists in MC for genres only shows currently defined/used genres which does not help if you want to select a genre you never used before (or want to see what the valid choices are, for ID3v1-only support) and have it stored in the ID3v1 tag data (not 255).

Also, there's a bug in MC12 when you use in-place editing to change genres as the Tag -> Format screen (in Action window) does not refresh when the genre if changed (maybe other fields do this too).  I had to select another track and come back to the modified track to see the Format screen update (up arrow then down arrow, basically).

I guess not.  Can a JR dev person put this info in the Wiki area (sometime)?

Ha, I didn't even know there were specs for genres.  MC obviously supports any genre you want, you just need to add it.

Other than they are pigs (wasteful) and exist at the beginning of MP3 files and are slow to rewrite when they expand and cause some MP3 hardware (portables, car stereos, etc.) problems when they read them and I don't need/want them (haha).  I realize they can be useful (to others), just not for me.

Haha, I respectfully decline (not my deal).
